Description

With its unique location at the crossroads of East and West and abundant natural resources, Vietnam has long been a focal point of conflicts between major world powers. The country has witnessed numerous wars, most notably the Vietnam War, which involved the United States and significantly impacted 20th-century global history and the post-World War II world order. Through historical museums and war relics such as Hoa Lo Prison and B-52 bomber wreckage, let's uncover the true stories of Vietnam’s wartime past. Highlights of the Journey: - Vietnam National Museum of History – Explore Vietnam’s history during the French colonial period, the Vietnam War (Resistance War against the U.S.), and conflicts with the Khmer Rouge and China. - Hoa Lo Prison – A dark prison used by the French to detain Vietnamese revolutionaries, later holding American pilots during the Vietnam War, famously nicknamed the 'Hanoi Hilton Hotel' by U.S. prisoners. - B-52 Victory Museum (Optional) – Witness the wreckage of a B-52 bomber, the largest and most advanced U.S. bomber of the 1970s. The museum also showcases missiles used to shoot down B-52s, anti-aircraft artillery, and fighter jets of the Vietnamese military. Join this journey to gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s war history and the resilience of its people.
